    Anemone blanda, you just leave. They will gently seed around and multiply.

    thanks @fidgetbones but I now believe it to be Mr Fokker, do I treat it the same?

    Ok, a de caen type. Again you just leave it. You can lift the bulbs, or leave them in situ as they are perennial and will come back year after year. A mulch in winter is useful.

    I don’t know what you’re meant to do but I deadhead them, taking the whole stem if there no leaves.
